GRAND CONCERT By THE STONE
WALL BRIGADE BAND.

RICH ENTERTAINMENT OF BOTH VOCAL AM
| INSTRUMENTAL MUsIC-A LARGE AND DE
LIGHTED AUDIENCE.
| The grand concert given in the Opera hous
| Friday night by the Stonewall Brigade Band
assisted by the Trinity Church choir and Cap
+. w. Cunningham, of Richmond, was one o
the most enjoyable entertainments ever giver
in that hall on any occasion. The audience
was large and there was not one in 1t who wa
not only pleased but delighted We have new
er seen an audience that manifested in more
emphatic and unmistakable manner the gen
uine delight afforded by any entertainment
than on this occasion. The programme was 6
good one. and the whole Oft was rendered II
the best style. Both the vocal and instrument
tai musiclanSacquitted themselves with great
credit. and they could not fail to have been
gratif1ed at the manner in which the audience
manifested their great pleasure. Every piece
was greeted with rapturous applause. and
nearly every one was encored, The sweet sing
ing of Captain Cunningham took the house by
storm, as it's pathetic tones touched every
heart and he was called back every time. and
on The last, the audience were SO importunate
and SO anxious to have more, that they were
not satisfied till he had appeared four times
seemed to increase with each appearance. We
can say for ourself that we never enjoyed any
concert to greater degree. and we feel assur-
ed that such was the case with others. We
were gratif1ed that the audience was so large
and that they enjoyed the concert so well. The
Band, which has been always near and dear
to the hearts of our people. continues to grow
in popularity. and it richly deserves the pop
ularity which it possesses, and so-long as It's
merits are SO manifest, our citizens will con-
tinue to take pride in 1t, and give it a liberal,
hearty, and generous support. On this coca
sion, the Band for the first time appeared
in their new uniform-the most beautiful in
the Southland when the curtain was raised
and the audience behed it for the first time,
the applause that was given showed that the
audience both surprised and delighted.
We will state that this uniform, though 1t
looked well at night, looks better in the
daytime, for the better it is seen the better it
looks That those who were nor present may
